NMS StuCo: Leading the Way!
Our Newman Middle School Student Council spent some time today visiting Skiatook Intermediate Elementary to connect with the 5th-grade class! It was a great opportunity for our current leaders to share their experiences and talk about the impact of joining StuCo. From representing their peers to helping lead school events, our reps did an awesome job showing the 5th graders how they can step up and make a difference when they join us at the middle school next year.
